Dr. Temple and Mrs. Temple looked

"Jimmie, I promise you I'll never

"My love!" he cried, and seized her
hand. "You know I always said you
were a queen among women. Lu
cretia."
She beamed back at him: "And you
always were the prince of good fel
lows, Jimmie." Then she almost
blushed as she murmured, almost shy.
ly: "May I pour your coffee for you
again this morning?"
"For life," he whispered, and they
moved up the aisle, arm in arm,
bumping from seat to seat and not
knowing it.
When Mrs. Whitcomb, seated in the
dining-car, saw Mrs. Little Jimmle
pour Mr. Little Jimmie's coffee, she
choked on hers. She vowed that she
would not permit those odious Well
lingtons to make fools of her and her
Sammy. She resolved to telegraph
Sammy that she had changed her
mind about divorcing him, and order
him to take the first train west and
meet her half-way on her journey
home.
CHAPTER XXXVI.
A Duel for a Bracelet.
All this while Marjorie and Mal
lory hat sat watching, as kingtishers
shadow a pool, the door where
through the girl with the bracelet
must pass on her way to breakfast.
"She's taking forever with her
toilet," sniffed MarJorie. "Probably
trying to make a special impression
on you."
"She's wasting her time," said Mal
lory. "But what if she brings her
mother along? No, I guess her moth
er is too fat to get there and back."
"If her mother comes," Marjorie
', decided, "ll hold her while you take
the bracelet away from the-the
from that creature. Quick, hero she
comes now! Be brave!"
Mallory wore an aspect of arrant
cowardice: "Er-sh--l--l--"
"You just grab her!" Marjorie et
plalned. Then they relapsed lntq at
titudes of impatient attention. Math
leen floatsed In and, seeog Mallory,
Sshe greeted BIp with radiant warmth:
"Good mornte !" and then. catkbg
sight of Marjod.a.pve her a (Uood
mornlngl!" coated with ic 8She
flounced past and Mallory sat inert,;
Itll Marjorie gave him a ferociou
pinch, whereupon be leaped to hs
feet:
"Oh, Mis--er-Miss Kathleen,"
ithle whirte round with a ms
hospitable smile. "May I have a
word with you?"
"Of course you can, you dear boy."
Marjorie winced at this and writhed
at what followed: "Shan't we take
breakfast together?"
Mallory stuttered: "I-I-no, thank
you-I've had breakfast."
Kathleen froze up again as she
snapped: "With that-train-acquaint
ance. I suppose."
"Oh, no," Mallory amended, "I mean
I haven't had breakfast"
But Kathleen scowled with a jeal
ousy of her own: "You seem to be
getting along famously for mere tratn
acquaintances."
"Oh, that's all we are, and hardly
that," Mallory hastened to say with
too much truth. "Sit down here a
moment, won't you?"
"Nq. no, I haven't time." she said,
and sat down. "Mamma will te wait
ing for me. You haven't been in to
see her yet?"
"No. You see-"
"She cried all night."
"For me?"
"No, for papa. He's such a good
traveler-and he had such a good
start. She really kept the whole car
awake."
"Too bad," Mallory condoled, per
functorily, then with sudden eager
ness, and a trial at indifference: "1
see you have that bracelet still."
"Of course, you dear fellow. 1
wouldn't be parted from it for worlds,"
Marjorie gnashed her teeth, but
Kathleen could not hear that. She
gushed on: "And now we have met
again! It looks like Fate, doesn't
it?"
"It certainly does," Mallory assent
ed, bitterly; then again, with zest:
"Let me see that old bracelet, will
you?"
He tried to lay hold of it, but Kath
leen giggled coyly: "It's just an ex
cuse to hold my hand." She swung
her arm over the back of the seat
coquettishly, and Marjorie made a
desperate lunge at it, but missed,
since Kathleen, finding that Mallory
did not pursue the fugitive hand,
brought. it back at once and yielded
it up:
"There-be careful, someone might
look."
Mallory took her by the wrist in a
gingerlf manner, and said, "So that's
the bracelet? Take it off, won't you?"
"Never!-it's wished on," Kathleen
protested, sentmentally. "Don't you
remember that evening in the moon
light?"
Mallory caught Marjorie's accusing
eye and lost his head. He made a
ferocious effort to snatch the bracelet
off. When this onset failed, he had
recourse to entreaty: "Just slip It
off." Kathleen shook her head tantal
izingly. Mallory urged more strenu
ously: "Please let me see it"
Kathleen shook her head with so
phistication: "You'd never give it
back. You'd pass it along to that
train-acquaintance."
"How_ can you think such a thing?"
Mallory demurred, and once more
made his appeal: "Please, please, slip
it off."
"What on earth makes you so anx
ious?" Kathleen demanded, with, sud
den suspicion. Mallory was stumped,
till an inspiration came to him: "I'd
like to-to get you a nicer one. That
one isn't good enough for you."
Here was an argument that Kath
leen could appreciate. "Oh, how sweet
of you, Harry," she gurgled, and had
the bracelet down to her knuckles,
when a sudden instinct checked her:
"When you bring the other, you can
have this."
She pushed the circlet back, and
Mallory's hopes sank at the gesture.
He grew frantic at being eternally
frustrated in his plans. He caught
Kathleen's arm and, while his words
pleaded, his hands tugged: "Please
please let me take it-for the measure
-you know!"
Kathleen read the determination in
his fierce eyes, and she struggled fu
riously: "Why, Rlchard--Chauncey!
-er-Billy! I'm amazed at you! Let
go or I'll scream!"
She rose and, twisting her arm
ffiom his grasp, confronted him with
bewildered anger. Mallory cast to
ward Marjorie a look of surrender
and despair. Marjorie laid her hand
on her throat and in pantomime sug
gested that Mallory should throttle
Kathleen, as he had promised.
But Mallory was incapable of fur
ther violence; and when Kathleen,
with all her coquetry, bent down and
murmured: "You are a very naughty
boy, but come to breakfast and we'll
talk it over," he was so addled that
he answered: '"Thanks, but I never
eat breakfast"
CHAPTER XXXVII.
Down Brakesi
Just as Kathleen flung her head in
baffled vexation, and Mallory started
to slink back to Marjorie, with an
other defeat, there came an abrupt
shock as if that gigantic child to
whom our railroad trains are toys,
had reached down and laid violent
hold on the Trans-American in full
career.
Its smooth, swift flight became sud
denly such a spasm of jars, shivers
and thuds that Mallory cried:
"We're off the track."
He was sent flopping down the aisle
Hlike a bolster hurled through the car.
He brought up with a sickening slam
across the seat into which Marjorie
had been jounced back with a breat
taking slam. And then Kathlesn
came flying backwards and landed in
a heap on both of them.
Several of the other passengers
were just .retUstinga from breakfast
Sand they were shot and scattered all
I over the car as i a great cba, of ha
man beads had burst.
Women acreamed, men yeieea, ard
I than while thaey ware stitl atrnusmim
against the seats and one another, the
train came to a halt.
"Thank God, we stopped in time!"
Mallory gasped, as he tried to disen
gage himself and Marjorie from Kath
leen.
The passengers began to regain
their courage with their equilibrium.
Little Jimmie Wellington had flown
the whole length of the car, clinging
to his wife as if she were Francesca
da Rimini, and he Paolo, flitting
through Inferno. The flight ended at
the stateroom door with such a thump
that Mrs. Fosdick was sure a detec
tive had come for her at last, and
with a battering ram.
But when Jimmie got back breath
enough to talk, he remembered the
train-stopping excitement of the day
before and called out:
"Has Mrs. Mallory lost that pup
again?"
Everybody laughed uproariously at
this. People will laugh at anything
or nothing when they have been
frightened almost to death and sud
denly relieved of anxiety.
Everybody was cracking a joke ,at
Marjorie's expense. Everybody felt a
good-natured grudge against her for
being such a mystery. The car was
ringing with hilarity, when the por
ter came stumbling in and paused at
the door, with eyes all white, hands
waving frantically, and lips flapping
like flannel, in a vain effort to speak.
The passengers stopped laughing at
Marjorie, to laugh at the porter. Ash
ton sang out:
"What's the matter with yoq, por
ter? Are you trying to crow?"
Everybody roared at this, till the
porter finally managed to articulate:
"T-t-t-train rob-rob-robbers;"
Silence shut down as if the whole
crowd had been smitten with paraly
sis. From somewhere outside and
ahead came a pop-popping as of fire
crackers. Everybody thought, "Re
volvers!" The reports were mingled
with barbaric yells that turned the
marrow in every bone to snow.
These regions are full of historic
terror. All along the Nevada route
the conductor, the brakemen and old
travelers had pointed out scene after
scene where the Indians had slaked
the thirst of the arid land with white
man's blood. Ashton, who had trav
eled this way many times, had made
himself fascinatingly horrifying the
evening before and ruined several
breakfasts that morning in the dining
car, by regaling the passengers with
stories of pioneer ordeals, men and
women massacred in burning wagons,
or dragged away to fiendish cruelty
and obscene torture, staked out supine
on burning wastes with eyelids cut
off, bound down within reach of rat
tlesnakes, subjected to every misery
that human deviltry could devise.
Ashton had brought his fellow pas
sengers to a state of ecstatic excit
ability, and, like many a recounter of
burglar stories at night, had tuned
his own nerves to high tension.
The violent stopping of the train,
the heart-shaking yells and shots out
side, found the passengers already apt
to respond without delay to the ap
peals of fright. After the first bush
of dread, came the reaction to panic.
Each passenger showed his own
panic in his own way. Ashton whirled
round and round, like a horse with
the blind staggers, then bolted down
the aisle, knocking aside men and
women. He climbed on a seat, pulled
down an upper berth, and, scrambling
into it, tried to shut it on himself.
Mrs. Whitcomb was so frightened that
she assailed Ashton with fury and
seizing his feet, dragged him back in
to the aisle, and beat him with her
fists, demanding that he protect her
and save her for Sammy's sake.
_Mrs. Fosdick, rushing out of her
stateroom and not finding her lus
cious-eyed busband, laid hold of Jim
mie Wellington and ordered him to
go to the rescue of her spouse. Mrs.
Wellington tore her hands loose, cry
ing: "Let him go, madam. 'lie has a
wife of his own to defend."
Jimmie was trying to pour out dy
ing messages, and only sputtering, for.
getting that he had put his watch in
his mouth to hide it, though its chain
was still attached to his waistcoat.
Anne Gattle, who had read much
about Chinese atrocities to mtission
aries, gave herself up to death, yet re
Joiced greatly that she had provided
a timely man to lean on and should
not have to enter Paradise a spinster,
providing she could manage to con
vert Ira in the niext few seconds, be
fore it was everlastingly too late. She
was begging her first heathen to join
her in a gospel hymn. But Ira was
roaring curses like a pirate captain in
a hurricane, and swearing that the
villains should not rob him of his
bride.
Mrs. Temple wrung her twitching
hands and tried to drag her husband
to his knees, crying:
"Oh, Walter, Walter, won't you
please say a prayert-a good strong
prayer?"
But the preacher was so confused
that be answered: "What's the use of
Sprayer in an emergency like this?"
t "Walterl" she shrieked.
I 'm on my va-vacation, you know,"
he stammered.

Chicago.-Yoho, my hearties! Gath

unfold ye as strange a tale of the sea
as ever happened on the Chicago
river.
'Twas on a dark and stormy night
that Fred J. Hohing, a simple com
mission merchant man, was sitting in
his window on the second floor of 172
South Water street with pen in hand
a-watching the big chunks of ice a-float
ing by and a-wondering how he was
going to jay his coal bills, when of a
sudden there was a splashing and a
yelling, and who should Ilohing see
a-floundering around in that thlere icy
water but this here landlubber that I
was speaking of, the same being John
Dunn, a advertising solicitor who had
fallen into that there st. eam acci
dental or contrariwise.
Without no hesitation whatsoever
this here Hohing rises up from his
chair, lays down his pen and jumps
kerplunk out of that window into the
seething main below, the same being
a-seething with frost and not with
heat, or you can wash my scuppers.
No sooner has this Hohing got him
self into the water than he discovers
to his pain that there are two drowning
men in that there raging main, the
one being this here landlubber and
the other himself. So he lets out a
yell, and along comes George Quinn..
who wallers into the river likewise,
that making three. Then up comes
Cornelius Griffin, who has sense
enough to keep his skin dry, and be
twixt the three of them they manage
to tow this here Dunn and themselves
into port.
No sooner has this here Hohing got
himself into drydock than, blast my
toplights, he busts into a screech that
made all the sirens on the river think
they were deaf and dumb.
"My watch," sez he. "Cuss it," he
sea, "I've lost my watch."
It had been given him by a Ger
man noble who was a relative of the
family.
Then up comes Fritz Belthauser,
who is a belldiver, and listens patient
